The Milken Institute’s California Center has launched a new program called New to Export 101 (“NTE 101”) to help local New-to-Exporting manufacturers (“NTEs”) distribute their products abroad.

It reflects the Center’s dedication to identifying solutions to strengthen California’s role as a global incubator for innovation in policy, technology and business, and the Milken Institute’s overall mission to stimulate economic growth and create jobs.

NTE 101-Los Angeles – our pilot effort – will provide each participating NTE with a mentor to guide them through a standardized set of services to ensure they receive the knowledge, training, and support they need to succeed. This is particularly important when manufacturers must engage with multiple export assistance agencies and organizations.
